Thanks for the offer! Unfortunately, this doesn't help really help.
What's really needed would be the following.
1. Scans of down-stem flags. I was browsing scores printed by
Petrucci and I could only find up-stem flags, contrary to later
printers like Dorico (and Dorico seems to use the existing flag
shapes, probably a bit thicker in design). So maybe they don't
exist at all?
2. A scan of a two-flag glyph. Again, my quick search didn't find a
single one.
It would also be helpful to confirm that items 1 or 2 don't exist – we
then are on our own in designing such hypothetical glyphs.
